Abstract
Perception of dental midline deviation and smile attractiveness by eye-tracking and aesthetic ratings
Highlights
Smile aesthetics are influ enced by oral components which are identified as smile arcs, buccal corridors, the smile line, upper lip curve, smile symmetry, occlusal cant, dental alignment, and gingival morphology.[2]
In order to achieve an ideal cosmetic result, identifiable reference parameters should be considered as aesthetics remains a subjective concept which can vary between individuals and cultures.[3]
Aesthetic perception varies between people and can be influenced by gender, personal experience, and social environment
Summary
Smile characteristics require detailed consideration during treatment planning to make an orthodontic result more acceptable.[1,2,3] Smile aesthetics are influ enced by oral components which are identified as smile arcs, buccal corridors, the smile line, upper lip curve, smile symmetry, occlusal cant, dental alignment, and gingival morphology.[2] In order to achieve an ideal cosmetic result, identifiable reference parameters should be considered as aesthetics remains a subjective concept which can vary between individuals and cultures.[3] Previous research has reported aesthetic. Technology instruments and computer programs have been developed in order to determine human perceptions and the sites of visual attention. Eyetracking, as a sensor technology, enables the focus of the eyes to be determined.[22] these systems are used in medical and para-medical fields, they have been recently incorporated into orthodontic research.[23,24,25,26,27] Using eye tracking, Hickman et al.[23]
